White Wall

As others have noted the pace is really slow and if you can't stand visual ambient or ambiguous interpretations, this might be too much. Personally I loved it for just those reasons. Psychological sci-fi that doesn't hold your hand. Minimal effects and no flow-breaking violence.

I love listening to Swedish, since it contains so much Anglo-Saxon seed language, and one can discern why people such as Tolkien regarded the great European legends and traditions as such a diverse and rich resource. But this White Wall thing is getting so tedious, plodding along at a truly glacial rate! I'm already one episode extra un-watched, with so many of the other trash TV Series of 2020 already binned! This one's not that bad, if you can truly remember the story from episode to episode, but I'm still expecting some alien 'Greeny' to jump out from the other side of that Wall with a message that we've all been naughty, so I have my Remote permanently placed where it can be reached 'tout-suite'.

The makers were trying really hard to keep things Swedish, with just a smattering of 'token' English! You have to admire them for featuring the real Sweden as a backdrop. And yes they were also very 'inclusive', even with an 'savant' Aspergers kid, who seems to know it all. But so far tastefully restrained, and not as self-flagellatory as the other Viking dystopian dramas. The Swedes have always had this ambivalence towards technology, necessary for cold-climate survival, but reproachable nonetheless. There's something very Freudian about it all - eggs, tunnels and the repression of 'stuff' deep down inside a mine.

Great story. Of course there are unrealistic elements but nothin completely insane. I like when the progress is slow and if you are looking for much action this is nothing for you:

So far only saw one episode but it is intriguing and filming was pretty good. Don't speak a word of Swedish nor can I read Finnish so pretty much guessed at what was happening thru visuals. The only English is of course spoken by the stereotypical, greedy management which I could have guessed that without hearing a word. Looking forward to watching further episodes. It's better than a lot of the virtue signaling, politically correct garbage coming out of Hollywood these days. I read some of the other reviews and noticed some of the themes that are prevalent in Sweden are at least normal drama. Be sure to write those idiots that you are dissatisfied and maybe, with enough complaints, will change. Here in the states I have come to boycotting all the crap that tries to tell me how I should think.
